INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
ON
BRAIN-INSPIRED COMPUTING
Computational models, algorithms, applications, and implementations
Cetraro –
Main Aim
The international workshop
on Brain-inspired Computing aims to bring together researchers involved in
various aspects of this area: computational modelling of brain functions,
computer algorithms, practical applications, implementations on general purpose
computers and special purpose computing devices, as well as its relation to
pattern recognition, machine learning, artificial intelligence, high
performance computing and visualisation.
There will be two days
of lectures (July 8-9) and two days with free informal discussions (July
10-11). The lectures are meant to provide an overview of the state of the art
and seeds for the subsequent discussions. The discussions will be conducted in
small dynamically changing groups. They aim at facilitating new ideas,
collaborations and plans, building of new research networks, producing a
comprehensive list of groups and individual researchers working in this area,
and finding points of encounter with the EU flagship project Human Brain.
